Outside Exhuma Currently, in addition to the Vietnamese box office, there is another movie title that also exploits horror and spiritual themes Mang Temple, a new film from the land of the Golden Temple. However, in complete contrast to the Korean blockbuster title, Mang Temple was criticized so badly by the audience that it was impossible to even find a single praiseworthy point.
Before launch, Mang Temple was promoted as a film about “Thailand's scariest ghost dancer Manohra”, but right from the poster, the audience speculated that this was probably an innocuous comedy horror film. And indeed, even Mang Temple It's not even a horror comedy worth watching, it's just a complete mess from the script to the images, effects, and acting. If you say you go to the theater because you see your idol in a movie, then absolutely not, because Mang Temple owns an unknown cast, at least in Vietnam. Names like Janey Ratchanok, Cee Siwat, Son Sonthaya, Oat Pasakorn,… make the audience watch and wonder “why are they actors?”.
On Vietnamese social networks, audiences still don't understand why the publisher was brave enough to bring this work to Vietnam. The “unfortunate” viewers who watched the movie out of curiosity must lament because this work has absolutely no interesting points. Although it has a reputation as a horror movie, the details are extremely slow and non-threatening, and are even compared to 8 Year Old Bride, testing the viewer's patience. Many comments said that they had to leave halfway through or fall asleep in the theater because they didn't want to waste money and their precious time.
Comments from the audience
About content, Mang Temple revolves around a deceased father who betrayed his oath, making Nang Rum's ghost angry, determined to take revenge on August (Oat Pasakorn). August will have to find an oath to undo his mistake, otherwise he will have to pay with his life. The content sounds interesting, but it's real Mang Temple is just a work that challenges the audience's patience or even “altruism”.
